Student AffairsOur Programming
Yellow House's programming and services are designed for BIPoC and/or 2SLGBTQ+ students by BIPoC and/or 2SLGBTQ+ students and staff. We honour the intersectionality within equity-deserving communities and welcome students to engage with our programming with their many identities as their full selves.
Throughout the year we offer programs for a variety of communities, sometimes creating space for students to connect across identities and lived experiences for a wide audience; other times we hold space for specific communities (e.g.: Black student spaces, trans and non-binary student spaces, and so on). Identity is complex, and thus these decisions are made with care alongside the community we are seeking to serve. We make clear in our promotions and programming calendar who the intended audience is and welcome any questions you may have if you are looking to connect with a specific community.
